i got the d4s 6000k bulbs from steve. idk about the volt kit but my 6k bulbs, eventually lost its brightness over a year or so. id say there < 6k right now... i like the 6k color.... but like with everything, eventually wear n tear comes into play... but like i said, idk about HID kits, if their colors/brightness fades over time...
i used to think my laptop was too bright, but after getting a netbook and using it for a week, my laptop screen seems super dim.
same with my HIDs, at first they were bright, but my eyes are used to them now.

it all depends where u buy from. Ultinon 6000k's are pure white, not a hint of blue, almost look OEM. Buy from V-HID, and they offer 6000k in blue or purple. You have to see the product in action before you can determine the color, at least in my experience

Hahaha did he actually post that?!
Someone always has to chime in with "rice" gibberish. Get off your high horse dude. Speaking of rice..
"I just want an intake that screams, but I don't care if it makes the most power. I don't want to lose or gain NOTHING obviously, but I really want one that screams. Any insight?"

I've used 4300,5000, and 6000K bulbs in my 3000GT and TL.
I personally choose 5000K, It's pure white with a very slight blue tint. I'm also runnning clear lenses in my TL so the color appears blue is person.
In my 3000GT I used 6000K and honestly, it's blue. Almost too blue for my taste. I mean the light output on the road is blue in color and is invisble on dark street.
THe 5000K is pure white output on the street but looking directly at the light myself I can see a slight blue tint.
Also take in account color shifting, those 5000K are going to start to color shift after a 200+ hrs of use so it would start to look closer to 6000K while losing lumens.
6000K are going to shift to a more 8000K range but also get dimmer
The 5000K bulbs are from THe Retrofit Source Morimoto brand.
The 4300K bulbs are from same place but were the Phillips 85122+
The 6000K bulbs are from HIDEXtra
